Arranged Classics - Schubert Songs
My piano training is in Classical Music and I love sharing that grand tradition with my students. This page is devoted to arrangements of Schubert Songs.
Das Wandern
Das Wandern (The Wanderer) opens Schubert’s wonderful song cycle The Beautiful Miller Maid. The joy of the melody evokes the inner thrill of a wanderer as he discovers one new thing after another.

Die Liebe Farbe
Die Liebe Farbe (The Favorite Color) is a sorrowful song of deep emotion. The melody is found in the left hand. Keep the repeated F#’s in the right hand as a monotonous droning that never gets in the way of the melody.

Der Jager
This piece from Schubert pictures a hunter (Das Jager). You can hear him confidently galloping along the countryside on his trusty horse. That is the spirit you want to capture in this late intermediate/early advanced arrangement.

An die Musik - To Music
Schubert's hommage to music. One of Schuberts most loved compositions giving honor to art and its enrichment to the human soul.
You, noble Art, in how many grey hours,
When life's mad tumult wraps around me,
Have you kindled my heart to warm love,
Have you transported me into a better world,
